Re: B11E069 - Nakajima A6M2-N "Rufe" Floatplane
The screw holes are a problem in particular the one on the float but bigger underside issue is that it should not have landing gear. It was a pure float plane and did not require wheels. Looks like FM just used a gear up Zero as their starting point. It is hard to find photos from that same angle but this one gives you an idea:



The dolly is different in this photo but I'm willing to give them leeway on that because I have no idea if there were different dollys used for the aircraft.

As with many diecast models it is unlikely anyone else will do this in 1/48 so if you really want one you have to decide to overlook the flaws.

I have this model too, and I dare say that I love it. As far as I know the dolly is correct, it's just displayed incorrectly in the diecast picture.

Burbank HoH and Wings And Wheels have these in stock, but if you want free shipping go with the latter...
